I Know What I Said, But Here's a Provisional Post

One More Thing To Do With Your Stash

I know I said I'd have some pics of Sweet pea, and I do. But I go back to the Knowledge Factory tomorrow–vacation's over–and I needed to clean out summer clothes and get ready for fall. I found a bunch of odd balls of yarn I was gonna' toss, but then, the light bulb came on. Now I never have to worry about maintaining the shape of my shoes and especially my boots, again.

I am finishing the armholes and neckline on my top using a crochet  Picot Stitch, but instead of ch3, I am replacing the picot with a glass bead to make for a prettier frame.  In addition, the post will be on  Finishing: It's not a bugaboo!

See ya' later.

Great idea with the yarn for the shoes! BTW those are some cute shoes grrl! Can't wait to see Sweet Pea all finished!

You know...that wouldn't be a bad set-up for an ad for luxury yarns...stuff the balls into a couple of open-toed Manolos or Jimmy Choos...

You are fabulous! I would have never thought in a million years to use yarn for shoe retainers, and I'm still laughing about it. Thanks for the great morning pick me up!

Do you still happen to have that pattern for the mittens holding hands? I was wondering if I could get a copy of it...

But wouldn't this make your yarn smell like feet?

LOL! I love your idea of what to do with spare skeins of yarn. I also like Franklin's idea for a photo shoot. How hip would that be?

Taht is a cute idea for the leftover skeins of yarn, plus to answer Jon's question, you can always wash the yarn, if you need to use it. Take the foot smell right on out, if it's even there.

Hey there everyone!

Sorry Jon, I should have been more specific. Those were summer shoes I wasn't wearing till spring. I cleaned them, then stuffed them.

I also used yarn that I was gonna toss out, so the foot smell wouldn't be an issue. If you just want to stash, rather than toss, you can wrap the balls in a bit of Seran Wrap. This way you don't have to wash the yarn. Thanks and good point!
